Rundet

Rundet is a term found in Danish and Norwegian language usage, functioning as the past participle and adjective form of the verb runde, meaning to round. It describes something that has been made round or that has been rounded in value. The suffix -et marks the past participle in these languages, and rundet is commonly used in noun phrases and technical writing. For example, rundet kant refers to a rounded edge, and rundet tall denotes a rounded number.

In mathematics, statistics, and computing, rundet is used to indicate that a value has been approximated to a fixed precision, as in rundet til to desimaler. Phrases such as rundet op (rounded up) and rundet ned (rounded down) describe specific rounding directions. The term is parallel to the English 'rounded' and to the general concept of rounding numbers.

Rundet is primarily used in Danish and Norwegian. In Swedish, variants such as avrundad/avrundat are more common for the adjective 'rounded.' The etymology traces to the verb runde and ultimately to a Germanic root related to making or forming a circle. See also rounding, numerical precision, and rounding modes in computing.
